On the morning of February 24, 2026, wreaths were ceremoniously laid at the base of the Victory Column of the War of Independence located at Freedom Square in Tallinn. This event is part of the celebrations honoring Estonia's Independence Day, marking 108 years since the country's declaration of independence. The laying of wreaths is a traditional way to pay respect to those who fought for the nation's freedom during the War of Independence.

The gathering was attended by various officials and citizens, reflecting the community's spirit and commitment to remembering their history and national pride. The War of Independence, which took place from 1918 to 1920, established Estonia as a sovereign state, and events like these serve to reinforce national unity and appreciation for past sacrifices.

This year's ceremony is particularly significant as it commemorates over a century of independence, highlighting the resilience and determination of the Estonian people throughout the years. Such observances not only honor those who have contributed to Estonia's freedom but also foster a sense of continuity and shared identity among current and future generations.
